More lulz. The US has no ambassadors. Trump fired them all without replacements.

I hope so but there's no indication of who the replacements might be. Guess I'm going to find out. If Trump exercises due diligence then my objections on this issue will be moot. I can't hold one guy to a different standard than the other.

I'm much the same, sorta hard to go on speculation. I will watch the first 100 days before I decide if he's going to be able to push forth what's he promised. Though I will call him on any blatant mistakes/poor decisions.

I always though they sounded a little like a '60s Chrysler starter motor.

Y'know, I never associated the two, but being a former owner of a few MOPARs who did indeed recognize how unique sounding those coughing snarling starters were, and now that you mention it, well, I'll be damned, I believe you're right. :thumbsup:

My dad had a 67 or 68 Newport so now l'm trying to remember the starter sound. I remember the engine sound which was glorious.

From the article;

"As many as 80 ambassadors for countries, agencies and issues - such as the ambassador for global women's issues - have been discarded at once."

This alone is probably grounds for impeachment.

Sounds like a swamp draining to me...

We get it; you're a misogynist.

Quit belaboring the point.

fwiw, Dubya did it too. iirc the practice goes even further back, maybe to Reagan or thereabouts.

This goes way farther back then that. http://washdiplomat.com/index.php?option=com_content&id=8985:in-us-selling-ambassadorships-to-highest-bidder-has-long-history&Itemid=428

I'll never stop pointing out what a lying,shitty, scummy politician and poor human being she is. Never.

Is this satire?

It's sad, really. Taj 0.8.3.4 is a beta, Trump Apologist variant of the Java Messaging Appliance, Headless Autotroll Library (TA-JMAHAL) program. It was first released during the GOP primaries. Unfortunately, it is now abandonware. As with most Trump contractors, its Russian programmer was never paid, so he returned to stealing credit card numbers. Without further updates, poor beta Taj is doomed to loop forever, echoing the same tired trolls from its obsolete propaganda library. Note above how even its internal error function recognizes it's doomed to be forever useless. So sad.

Fake news, Fake title. But expected from the liberals in anandtech.

1) only political ambassadors are gone.
2) Its not even that long of a tradition to keep these ambassadors, it only started with Clinton.

 

[1sikbITCH]

The end of the world as we know it. What, oh what is the United States ever going to do without ambassadors for awhile? Just think if Hillary had won she'd let ISIS kill them off.

This is your bullshit excuse? LOL
